Like, you’ve got an engine, which you paid a bunch of money to develop. But you’re only making one game at a time in it, which limits the return. If another carefully-selected studio were willing to use the engine and had Fallout rights, they could put out a game. You did that with Obsidian and Fallout: New Vegas was an enormous success.
They do need to refactor their cell framework to support real-time streaming for interiors or cut down the load times to near instantaneous because modern titles do not need to have such long loading times apart from the initial load when the game boots
Loading times aren’t getting smaller. Textures, sounds and other files are getting bigger, and regardless of how well optimized you make your engine load assets, if those files are big your device CPU is going to take longer to load them into RAM.

Okay. Can you license it to someone else?

They dont even need to use the engine, chuck the IP at Inexile and let them make a new Isometric Fallout game again.
Great idea if the game is less polished than bethesda’s fallout
Or Larian
The engine is antiquated.
The Starfield one is fine in my book.

Better hardware absolutely cuts loading times.
They did. Fallout 76 was licensed to a newly created studio named Bethesda Austin. And Fallout 76 was an on holy disaster on release.
unholy
Autocorrect, but you get the meaning
I’ll punch you into Obsidian… Wait what?
